Preparing for My Edmodo ClassroomAs teachers, we know that preparation is key. Before my students ever create accounts,

I prepare for a successful year with Edmodo by:

Creating a group for my classand/or different subjects

Signing up for a Teacher Accountand creating my Teacher Pro�le

Preparing and sending outa Parent Letter and Permission Slip,

and reviewing the Safety Best Practices

First Days of EdmodoSince my students have a lot to learn about online responsibility,

I start with a Digital Citizenship lesson and pass out a Digital Code of Conduct.

I help my students create a Student Account in the computer lab. Some of my colleagueschoose to send home a Student Sign Up Guide so parents can help with this.

Once all students have accounts, I help them join my group, and teach them to communicatewith me and their classmates by making posts, replying, and sending me messages.

Parent EngagementEdmodo is essential to keeping my students’ parents informed and engaged. During back to school night,

I pass out Parent Codes, demonstrate how to create a Parent Account, and pass out the Parent Sign Up Guide.I also show them what they can see on a Parent Account and how to set up text noti�cations.

Once parents are on Edmodo, I can Alert them of important due dates,send them multiplication tables to help their students practice, and more.

Power of the Teacher NetworkConnecting with other elementary school teachers across the globe through Communities

and the Discover tool has helped me gain new ideas and resources. I’ve also collaborated throughTeacher Groups such as 21st Century Tools for Elementary Teachers and Basal Alignment Project,

and even created my own Late Elementary Teacher Group for others in my district to join!

Interactive AppsWhen it comes time for activity stations, my students love practicing math or reading with Edmodo Apps.Using the App Toolbar to discover new educational apps has really increased my students’ engagement

and learning. Some of my favorites include Sokikom Classroom Management and Vocabulary Spelling City,but there is something to be found for every classroom in the Edmodo Store.
